Moneyball reveals a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the giant offices of major league teams and the dugouts. But the real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors.

Depois de perder a mãe aos 8 anos de idade, Elizabeth Harmon é mandada para o orfanato. Calada e retraída, ela lida com a triste realidade tomando os tranquilizantes que a instituição fornece às crianças para mantê-las dóceis. Até que o carrancudo zelador do lugar começa a lhe dar aulas de xadrez, oferecendo a chance de que ela precisava para sair de seu estado de letargia. Pensando e imaginando as jogadas, Beth sente que finalmente está no controle, e logo fica evidente que tem um talento natural para o jogo.

Hábitos como pular refeições, exercitar-se no meio do dia, trabalhar até tarde e tentar "recuperar o sono" no fim de semana atrapalham o ritmo natural do organismo e podem gerar consequências graves para nossa saúde. Combinando a antiga sabedoria ayurvédica com as mais recentes pesquisas científicas na área da cronobiologia, Dr. Suhas Kshirsagar explica como sincronizar nossa programação diária com o ciclo natural de luz e, assim, fazer com que todo o sistema trabalhe com menos esforço.

Para os professores W. Chan Kim e Renée Mauborgne, o resultado de uma concorrência acirrada nada mais é que um oceano vermelho sangrento, repleto de rivais que lutam entre si por uma parcela de lucros cada vez menor. Com base em um estudo de 150 movimentos estratégicos (que abrangem mais de 100 anos e 30 setores), os autores afirmam que o êxito duradouro não decorre da disputa feroz entre concorrentes, mas da criação de “oceanos azuis” – novos e intocados espaços de mercado prontos para o crescimento.

Resumen del Editor
O mundo dos esportes leva à loucura milhares de fãs que acompanham de perto cada partida, aflitos com as possibilidades criadas pelo acaso. Mas um homem se recusou a aceitar a suposta aleatoriedade de uma das maiores paixões dos americanos: o beisebol. Como gerente geral de um dos times de menor orçamento da grande liga, Billy Beane impôs uma gestão mais racional, uma nova perspectiva sobre o beisebol, e usou um alto conhecimento em matemática para determinar o modo de jogar e selecionar os atletas contratados pela equipe. Moneyball é a saga em busca do segredo do sucesso do Oakland Athletics sob seu comando.
Numa narrativa repleta de personagens fascinantes e questionamentos inteligentes, Michael Lewis mostra a luta de um administrador para levar seu empreendimento à máxima performance pelo menor custo, e impor racionalidade num universo dominado por favorecimentos, desperdício e vícios. É a história de superação de um time medíocre e a biografia de um homem que se destacou num dos negócios mais ferozes e competitivos dos Estados Unidos.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Um dos melhores livros sobre beisebol—e sobre negócios—já escrito. Merece um lugar no Hall da Fama do Beisebol.”—Forbes

If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

Bobby Gunn has been fighting for his existence since a childhood spent living under the hand of his volatile father, and would do anything to give his seven-year-old daughter a better life—including betting on himself in the underground world of bare-knuckle boxing. In 1984, Gunn was an eleven-year-old boxer in Ontario when his father woke him in the middle of the night to fight grown men in motel parking lots for money, his old man pocketing the cash.

Through the lens of the highly competitive world of girls’ softball, Lewis reveals the youth sports industrial complex that has arisen to aggressively monetize after-school pastimes.

When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

The biggest paradox in golf is that the harder you try to hit the ball, the worse you do so. In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag. The result is increased distance and greater accuracy for all sizes, shapes, and ages of golfers for a minimum investment in learning time.

A revolutionary approach to the techniques of working with horses, by a renowned instructor. In Horses Never Lie, renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of "alpha leadership" and teaches the listener to become a "passive leader" - a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider.

A generation-defining climb. Bad ass and beyond words.... One of the pinnacle sporting moments of all time."

Many poker players can make good decisions at the table with a reasonable frequency. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where even very experienced players behave in predictable ways. These deeply-ingrained habits lead them to make mistakes. The problem is that these situations won't often arise at the table by chance - you have to make them happen. Exploitative Play in Live Poker is a ground-breaking work that teaches you how to create the circumstances where your opponents will be likely to blunder and how to exploit them when they do.

Moneyball reveals a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the giant offices of major league teams and the dugouts. But the real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors.

The real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected by a brotherhood of baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, and physics professors. These numbers prove that the traditional measure of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. This information has been around for years, and nobody paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland A's.

Forty years ago Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred systematically when forced to make judgments about uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made Michael Lewis' work possible.

Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real-estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his number-one best-selling Liar’s Poker.

During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.
